Hormones are vital chemical messengers that send signals to the body each and every day telling it to perform both mundane and extraordinary tasks. They stimulate, regulate and control virtually all biologic processes from sexual reproduction, to immune function, growth and metabolism. Hormones signal huge changes in our lives such as puberty, pregnancy and menopause.
With age comes a process of hormonal decline where women experience the decline of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. This gradual hormone failure has a huge impact on our general wellbeing. Physical and psychological symptoms such as bone thinning, memory loss, low libido, hot flushes, fatigue and depression are common and have been endured by many.
Rebalance is a supplement that can help you through these critical years and can help you embrace change with a positive mindset.
Rebalance contains:
Soya Isoflavones: The active ingredient in soy is isoflavones which mimic the female hormone oestrogen. They are called phytoestrogens (plant derived) and are thought to help reduce the symptoms of menopause, especially night sweats and hot flushes. Isoflavones also have a protective effect on the breast, bones, cholesterol (total and LDL) and the cardiovascular system. The ideal dose has been shown to be 50mg/day.
Red Clover (Trifolium Pratense) contains all four of the specific isoflavones (plant oestrogens) that have been shown to be most beneficial to the human body – genistein, deidzein, formonentin and biochanin A. Taking a dose of over 80mg a day has been shown to reduce nights sweats by 75% and can relieve insomnia in menopausal women. It is also thought to have a protective effect on the heart and bones.
Sage is a fantastic herb that has been used medicinally for hundreds of years.
